The document commits $25.1 billion over the coming decade to expand and rehabilitate highways, including work on a new Highway 413 for Halton, Peel, and York regions that the government will save drivers up to 30 minutes per trip.

Will the Diesel Engine Ever Be Perfected?

The California Air Resources Board has approved for 2027 what the Engine Manufacturers Association refers to as “sweeping new regulations affecting heavy-duty trucks sold in the state.”
The regs include a 90% reduction in NOx, half the particulate, and especially the ability to do this under low-load conditions. Crawling conditions pertain all too often on California freeways and are only predicted to get worse — hence the part of the rule relating to low load.
New technologies like skip-firing — as well as any number of potential after-treatment modifications like extra selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalysts located closer to the turbo — could, it is likely, meet the requirements.

The observation, released by Trucking HR Canada, comes on the heels of recent Statistics Canada data that shows one in five people (21.8%) in the overall workforce falls within that demographic group.
Statistics Canada is scheduled to release its transportation-related demographic information this fall.

A cool fact about refrigerated trailers

The trailers might last longer than the underlying technology – transportation refrigeration units can last 5 to 10 years, and the underlying trailers can be in service 12 to 15 years or longer, TMC executive director Robert Braswell observed in a group chat, during a webinar releasing the results. In contrast, some technology-related products can last three to five years, he said. Over-the-air software updates will solve some challenges, but new hardware can be required to support new features.

СAPITOL AGENDA

Legislation designed to enhance the movement of freight at ports is part of Congress’ agenda over the coming weeks, a key negotiator of the bill told reporters April 26.

During Senate Democrats’ weekly press conference, Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.) emphasized that fellow lawmakers were meeting to arrive at a final version of the Ocean Shipping Reform Act. Versions of the bill recently advanced in the House and in the Senate.
“We’re working on issues that affect everyday consumers on price. As you know, we passed out of the Senate a shipping bill that we’re working with the House to resolve the differences on,” Cantwell said. “This is very important because shipping costs accelerated greatly and have raised costs on average Americans.

A primer on electric motors

Like diesel engines, electric motors have “sweet spots” for efficiency and power output. But unlike diesels, electric motors produce torque over a much broader motor speed range, and they have larger efficiency ranges. Electric motors produce maximum torque from practically 1 rpm all the way out to 2,000 or 3,000 rpm or higher, depending on the motor design. At some point in the rpm range the torque begins to drop off and the motor comes into its most energy-efficient range

At White House, Biden Touts Trucking’s Workforce Program

Biden, during an April 4 address that marked the culmination of his administration’s workforce recruitment challenge for trucking jobs, touted programs that “allow aspiring drivers to earn while they learn, while making this essential job more attractive to potential drivers regardless of age, background and gender.”

The president said such efforts are designed to ease the industry’s driver shortage at a time when bottlenecks at the ports, partly the result of workforce shortages, are hindering supply chains. He also emphasized outreach programs for underrepresented groups in the industry, such as minorities and women.

Truck traffic quickly rebounded after border blockades were dismantled

Cross-border truck traffic rebounded sharply in mid-February, as border blockades supporting ‘Freedom Convoy’ protesters were dismantled.
The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) processed 107,599 truck drivers from Feb. 14-20, reaching levels seen during that same week in 2020.

Overall volumes had plunged during border blockades at the Ambassador Bridge in Windsor, Ont.; Coutts, Alta.; Emerson, Man.; and Surrey B.C. – dropping under 99,000 truck drivers during each of the first two weeks in the month. The Ambassador Bridge alone handles more than 7,000 trucks in a typical day.
